I want to send a slack notification as soon as trigger the pipeline build manually.
Steps I am following:
- Go to your project’s CI/CD > Pipelines and select Run pipeline.
- Choose the branch you want to run the pipeline for.
- Input the variable and its value in the UI.
- Click on the
Run pipelinebutton
From the documentation I see:
How the pipeline was triggered. Can be push, web, schedule, api, external, chat, webide, merge_request_event, external_pull_request_event, parent_pipeline, trigger, or pipeline. For a description of each value, see Common if clauses for rules, which uses this variable to control when jobs run.
In this init stage I want to execute a script only when I run the pipeline using the above steps
init:
stage: init
environment: $DEPLOY_ENVIRONMENT
script:
- bundle exec fastlane slack_build_start_summary
rules:
- if: $CI_PIPELINE_SOURCE == "trigger" // also tried with "pipeline"
when: always
But I can't see this stage in the Gitlab pipeline stages.
I want to know which CI_PIPELINE_SOURCE ("trigger" or "pipeline" or something else?) I need to check when I trigger the pipeline manually from Gitlab using the above steps.
